Dan, I realize that it's difficult to predict the path of a new meteor shower. Have the experts been able to rate the chances of a meteor colliding with earth and destroying all life as we know it?

For the spectacular show that they put on, most meteors are only about the size of grains of sand. That said, meteors hit the Earth all the time but, because of their low mass, slow to terminal velocity before they do. You are thinking asteroids.
